Alchemy

In the dark days that followed, 
we wrote our memoirs in code, 
deciphered only by spilled innocence 
and broken promises.
So we gave each other the mundane: 
a cooling cup of too pale coffee, 
grocery lists on the back of old receipts, 
and we taught ourselves the alchemy 
that turned leaden hearts into gold.
